kakobrekla: Deadpool (Wade Winston Wilson) is
a fictional character,
a mercenary and anti-hero appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by artist Rob Liefeld and writer Fabian Nicieza, Deadpool first appeared in The New Mutants #98 (Feb. 1991).
jurov: cuz neighbor convincing me the banks want to crash all existing currencies to create
a unified world currency
dub: and its not
a link in either!
Bugpowder: It was probably
a more complex issue
Bugpowder: It took our project 9 months and
a change of vendors to get our chips properly bumped.
error4733: cant belive they're happy to show
a pictures after 9 month
dub: dude best gary busey line in
a movie ever
mircea_popescu: jcpham actually bitcoin magazine is quickly becoming
a sort of elephant cemetery
jcpham: jcph.am is
a wordpress blog though
mod6: YOU'RE NOT
A WRITER, YOU'RE
A KILLER!
Bugpowder: only thing worse than
a blogger is someone planning on blogging
mod6: I'm not much of
a writer though.
mod6: (09:41) < mircea_popescu> mod6 maybe you should start
a blog << maybe i do need
a new venue for this kinda thing
jcpham: they need to release
a client that allows gpou miners to get paid
Bugpowder: that would be
a great nugget for the reddit discorse.
Bugpowder: I only really see MM used as an abbrev for millions in
a finance context.
jcpham: if coinlab doesn't roll out
a hpc client, they fail
mod6: This is
a good thing though, because if these guys get wholly onboard, bye-bye fake-economy job, hello bitcoin land!
mod6: I should have just started
a live auction for 'em. Maybe next time.
mod6: they're getting less and less business from what I understand,.. the money is drying up quite
a bit so gaming has been light
mod6: right now when you go into the casino, you can put cash onto your players card -- and when you walk up to
a machine you just put your card in.
mod6: i explained the BFL and avalon stuff to them. I think they're pretty sweet on mining. But the online-poker site is something they'd like to see get built. they own
a full legal casino here, so I'm trying to get them to see how this would be awesome for gaming, mainly.
mod6: one of the dudes over there has been blowing me up for
a few weeks about these avalons.. he wants to buy
a few to start to do some mining.. and that turned into
a lengthy discussion.
kakobrekla: Jay Walker,
a forex prop trader, said he’d jump to any forex broker deal that would allow him to do currency pair trades and get paid out in bitcoins. This is something the Bitcoin exchanges could do by signing deals with forex broker deals – assuming they get through each country’s regulatory process.
mod6: one dude outright called me "Crazy" and "
a crackhead" lol
mod6: but after talking about this for like 3 or 4 hours... they started to understand btc
a bit more and what its important
Bugpowder: So that shows they have some money but no focus. They are likely
a zero.
mircea_popescu: prolly what happened is they finally got told to take
a hike, and are trying to extrac whatever from it
Bugpowder: "has worked for
a year to sign an exclusive long term deal"
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder you ever heard of something like this released other than as
a joint item ?
Bugpowder: " The goal is to move customers’ money from overseas to Silicon Valley Bank by March 22nd." Like by starting
a new way to deposit and stealing the future international wire action, or actually pulling all the existing deposits from Japan/HK to
a US bank. Anyone have an interview transcript?
mircea_popescu: the fact that unlike the competition they have
a burn rate is NOT an advantage.
Bugpowder: Are they? Or are they just leaking some hype to
a reporter with no actual deal
mircea_popescu: course possibly
a workable model would show people buying that know business, people with large stashes that just happened by at the right time
topace: okay and you're 100% positive that is enough to confirm
a signature validity?
topace: mircea_popescu: right, so, if strlen(fingerprint)>15 then its
a valid signature? sounds sloppy
topace: mircea_popescu: any idea what "validity" values are, in reference to
a gpg signature verification? when i use php's gnupg_verify() i get either validity=4 (for valid signature) or validity=0 (for invalid signature)
Ukto: 'does not belong writing' is something I expect to read in
a chinese manual. :P
mod6: they love what MPEx is, and we talked about bitbet for
a while and how that works...
mircea_popescu: moreover, if god himself guaranteed
a cracked currency
maximian: and the presence of
a bitcoin casino doesn't make an abandoned/cracked bitcoin system viable again
mircea_popescu: first off,
a crack would make bitcoin useless to begin with.
mircea_popescu:
a guarantee, e.g. no central bank or government to offer
a sovereign guarantee,
a crack would make bitcoin illiquid and worthless. "
mircea_popescu: "Recently I wrote about how the viability of bitcoin was limited by the risk of total, sudden liquidity collapse . The argument can be summarized as saying that without institutions whose business is transacted in it, bitcoin suffers from
a bootstrapping problem whereby
a crack in the crypto scheme would create an instant wave of counterfeit and debasement. Since there is no entity to restore trust in the currency with
mircea_popescu: person actually thinks the 50 bux wordpress charged for
a domain reg is why btc doubled.
dub: I know its
a bit late for this but.. what
a fucking idiot
DeadWeasel: instinct is
a bastard mutant of those two.
DeadWeasel: so, fellas, think we go down from there for
a while? or rally this week?
mod6: brb, these guys are having
a full argument about cash and what the fed does and how in debt/fucked we are...
mircea_popescu: you know, i should probably do
a buncha Bank of MPEx paper btc notes
mod6: i passed around .1 BTC on
a paper wallet, that was the basic reaction ;)
Chaang-Noi: anything over $20 would just be
a correction anyway:)
aethero: Yeah
a fall to 31.2 is
a crash lol
Eduard_Munteanu: Stuff like USD/gold or USD/CHF is nice, but the leverage is
a bit too high IMO. E.g. if you're betting on US inflating their money supply.
Eduard_Munteanu: Perhaps, besides BVB is sort of
a joke market compared to other similar stuff.
mircea_popescu: Eduard_Munteanu if that thing ain't rigged i'm
a girl and don't even know about it.\
Eduard_Munteanu: Let's just say I might break even on gold after losing quite
a bit of money on the stock market.
ThickAsThieves: so what does
a government do to get the tax they need?
ThickAsThieves: i do wish US taxes were simpler and closer to
a flat tax
Eduard_Munteanu: Yes, we do need legitimate business on
a more serious voice.
Eduard_Munteanu: Well sure, now you don't expect
a company owner to admit, no? Hypothetically, of course. :)
mircea_popescu: makes no sense. in
a properly structured vehicle you pay whatever, 3% if anthing at all
Eduard_Munteanu: mircea_popescu: say
a company wants to employ
a sizeable portion of its workers under the table, that's the sort of scenario I have in mind
Eduard_Munteanu: mircea_popescu: AFAIK it's
a pain to justify taking money out of your accounts
mircea_popescu: you can make
a company to warm the atmosphere if you please.
Eduard_Munteanu: mircea_popescu: I wonder if BTC is
a good way to get money *out* of the company's accounts
mircea_popescu: apparently wow is not ok but some cs-thing is or something like that. he had
a list.
mircea_popescu: if the extra 5 pays electricity for
a rig that makes no difference in this equation.
mircea_popescu: if next year company
A spends 55, makes the same 70, it pays tax on the 15 only
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves company
A spends 50, makes 70, pays tax on the 20.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the fiat you spend to pay for fixed costs is
a deduction.
Eduard_Munteanu: Initially it seemed like
a good deal, I probably would've bought
a ~ $1500 miner. I'm interested to see how much they manage to get out of it.
Eduard_Munteanu: Did you get
a miner btw? I'm
a bit sorry I'm late to the party. :(
mircea_popescu: there's also the fiscal consideration. spend fiat, it counts as
a deduction.
mircea_popescu: the miners that saved their mined btc made
a killing this year, for instance
